Chapter 1
I toss the crumbled paper at Steve's head. He glares at me. "What?" I ask him. He says nothing. "What?" I repeat poking him. "Shut up!" he snaps at me. I scowl. "Miss Fischer!" Mrs Clark says smiling. I spring up, I could feel Steve stiffening besides me. "Perhaps you would like to solve the problem on board?" she asks still smiling. I nod and go up. A quadratic equation, tad complicated but nothing I couldn't do. I hand the piece of chalk back to her after double scoring both the roots. She eyes the steps for some fault. "You are going to pay attention in my class." she says pursing her lips. I nod. "And you are going to let other people pay attention too. Understood?" she says after a quick glance at Steve. I nod.
"Are you mad?" I ask Steve. "Yes." he snaps. "Why?" I ask him. He glares at me with his baby blue eyes and says "Im not talking to you." "But you just did..." I tease him. He ignores me staring at a piece of paper. "Cmon!" I shout punching his arm. "Monica's coming. Go bug her." he tells me angrily, I snatch the paper from his hand and read through the names of the dunderheads in our year. "Aaron Schmidt?" I ask him confused. "New boy." He tells me. I nod. "Frankie's?" Monica asks me.Frankie's was the pizzeria down the school which served to be fair...edible pizzas. We just went down there all the time to hangout as Franki didn't mind us hogging the seats.I nod. "You?" she asks Steve. He shakes his head and tells us "I have to take care of the tryouts." I roll my eyes. He was always busy to hangout, it was either tryouts or theatre or his math class with Mon. Before I could argue with him someone shouts "Hey Prince Eric!" I could feel my anger rising, I open my mouth but Steve snatches my hand. I glance at him. "Please dont make it worse."he pleads. I huff,Steve Andrews's perfect looks with brown hair,light blue eyes and perfectly structured body. also contributing his vast interest in both sports and arts had earned him the name Prince Eric (Ariel's guy). Monica and I were the only people who had never called him that. So,it was pretty much the base of our friendship."What are you hiding?" I ask him. "Nothing." he mumbles looking sheepish. I raise an eyebrow. "Goodbye June." he says walking away. I laugh and go down the hall with Mon.
"Tommy asked me out." Monica says messing with her short,choppy blonde hair. "Oh,good!" I say gagging on the pepperoni pizza. "He said he was intimidated by my beauty till now." she tells me grinning. I almost choke on my cola. "Im serious!" she shouts. I nod still grinning. "And by the way Steve told me you almost got him into trouble in Calc." she tells me her grin replaced by a frown. "Almost, I was the one who had to do the problem." I tell her. "Stop doing that to the poor thing!" she snaps. "What?" I ask her feeling guilty. "You know he gets worked up over anything and everything." she complains. "Nothing even happened!" I snap. "Dont do it. Period." she tells me.
MONICA'S POV
"You're getting better..." I say looking at his homework. "Yeah." he says smiling. "What's going on?" I asks seeing the gloom behind his smile. "Its...just...GOD!" he shouts frustrated. "Is it Mr. Andrews?" I ask him biting my lip. "Kind of." he tells me. "I can't sleep. I can't unless I take those stupid pills!" he continues. "You shouldn't take those pills!" I warn him. "You try sleeping while someone calls your mom a bloody bitch." he tells me. "Sorry." I say glancing at the dark circles under his eyes. "Please don't tell anyone..." he mutters. "You know I wont!" I tell him, he should know I wouldn't. "I mean not even June..." he tells me. "Why not?" I ask him raising an eyebrow. "Everything,including me, is a big joke to her " he tells me bitterly. I nod and say "Of course I won't."
JUNE'S POV
"Let's go see Steve." I say getting up. "Um?Yeah.Sure." she says snapping from a trance. "Wake up Dolly day dream!" I say teasing her.
